gang violence is being addressed. len ramirez is outside that task force meeting right now. len. >> reporter: dana, san jose has always tried to be very pro- active when it comes to crime and especially gangs. well, now with these budget cuts they have to be pro-active because there's really no other choice. so tonight, here at city hall, there will be an educational meeting for parents on what to do to keep their kids out of gangs. >> they weren't random shots. >> reporter: a neighbor describes the gunfire that woke him up and at the same time took down his 24-year-old victim. >> the shots began, got closer coming towards my house this way. and that's when it kind of got me to look out. >> reporter: a 19-year-old man was killed. it's the latest in the gang killings in san jose. >> a lot of these guys are shot, they don't even know the game they are shooting. >> reporter: sonny lara says now more than ever wearing colors is like putting a bull's

eye on your back. >> if they decide that you have the wrong color on or whatever you mug them and they happen to have a weapon, they are going to use you as a target. >> we're seeing a major uptick. some would say despite. >> reporter: the mayor's antigang task force says out of 27 killings this year, more than half will be classified as gang-related. >> we could be pushing onwards of 13, 14 gang-related homicides when last year for the whole year we finished with 6. >> reporter: no one knows the reason for the surge in killings. but even police admit that gang members could feel emboldened by police budget cuts. 122 officers are laid off this year and the pro-active gang suppression unit known as v-set has been eliminated. >> the department suffered significant losses in staffing. so i mean, there are some of those folks who are involved in criminal active that are seizing on opportunities that think maybe they can get away with it where in the past think might not have been able to. >> reporter: san jose aims to fight gangs with more than just

enforcement. community centers are staying open that offer kids alternative to gangs. in a series of meetings for parents, it's ongoing. lara will present the first lesson to parents, don't let them wear colors you. >> bought them that sweatshirt and shoes u gave them the money. you want to keep your kids alive, watch what they wear before they walk out those doors. >> reporter: just one of the pieces of advice that parents will get tonight. again, that meeting is happening here at city hall, beginning just now at 6:00, runs for an hour. dana, ironically, it's happening in the city council chambers where just last night the city council had to vote to eliminate 122 police officer jobs. >> thank you. tonight hayward police are investigating back-to-back armed robberies outside a bart station. now in one case, a victim was shot even after handing over his cash. now, both robberies happened about 11:00 last night near the south hayward bart station. in the first crime, two men one

of them armed robbed two teenaged girls. the girls were not hurt. but seconds later the same thing happened to a married couple in the same spot. but after the victims gave up their possessions, the gunman shot the man three times. >> robbery in and of itself with a handgun is a cowardly act. and once you have gotten what you want what you have asked for and these people have complied, undoubtedly out of fear for their life, you then shoot them? i can't rationalize that. >> the man who was shot is expected to be okay. but so far, no arrests. a major break in a sex assault case where a woman was able to record her alleged attacker. that man is now under arrest. that's the video there that police believe the man in that video is dion mcdaniel. officers found him hiding in a doghouse near the house where the woman was allegedly assaulted. officers said that the 47-year- old man has been on the run

since this cell phone video started airing in the media last week. he is cited as a career criminal and parole violator. no matter where you live it's going to cost you more to turn on theta . nearly every bay area utility is hiking rates even after record snowfall in the sierra. mark sayre on why agencies say they have no choice but to charge more. reporter: it certainly appears that the laws of supply and demand do not apply when it comes to your water bill. we have had plenty of rain, reservoirs are full. people are doing a very good job of conservation. but water rates throughout the bay area, well, they are going up. reporter: at the montero home in east palo alto, the cost of water is not on the minds of these kids trying to keep cool. but for their mother, news of a water rate increase is not going over well. >> we pay $180 a month. >> reporter: martha says any utility rate increase means something else will have to give.

>> we have to pay $200, that's going to become less food for us because we use it for the food, whatever is left over. >> reporter: for san francisco and 26 other cities that get their water from the hetch hetchy system, water bills are on the rise. why? the san francisco public utilities commission, which owns the system, has hiked wholesale rates by 38% to help pay for infrastructure improvements. >> we are paying for the opportunity to get water whether you use it or not. >> reporter: art jensen is with the bay area water supply and conservation agency, whose members use two-thirds of the system's water. jensen says the fact that bay area residents are using less water overall does not mean the costs of maintaining and operating the system are any lower. >> so if you use less, you pay less. the costs for the utility are still fixed. they need to bring in so much revenue per year to pay for the pipes and the people. so people use less, they have to charge you more.

>> reporter: one of the big projects currently under way, construction of a new five-mile- long water tunnel under the bay just south of the dumbarton bridge. overall, the average water bill to pay for this project and others is expected to go up about 15% with final decisions up to individual cities. >> i'd like to not have to, but i want the water to stay on. so yeah, we pay it. >> reporter: and water rates are also going up in the east bay and also the north bay. customers of east bay m.u.d. are going to see a 6% water rate increase beginning next month. and residents of the marin municipal water district are already paying 4% more beginning this month in june. so allen, pretty much no matter where you live in the bay area, for one reason or another, your water rates are going up. >> can't escape it. guess we pay. mark, thanks so much. well, the city of san jose is getting some help from a silicon valley company in an

effort to protect its drinking water. about 100 ibm employees are donating eight hours to test and collect water samples in the city's creeks. volunteers are collecting samples with a new phone app that the company created. >> it's very hard, i think to get the city to put money into, quote, nonessentials, right? there are people who need the help and it's right in front of your faces. but this is really important for the quality the drinking water. >> ibm's offer to help is perfect timing. yesterday san jose city council voted to trim the budget by $115 million, the largest deficit ever. sofas, tv sets, even a kitchen sink. no, it's not a new superstore opening. it is the side of one bay area freeway. christin ayers with more on a clean-up job that gets more expensive and disgusting every year.

>> reporter: people are leaving bags of trash along the highway as a visual reminder to keep it clean. reporter: it's become something of a trashy treasure hunt. a few times a year, caltrans cracks down on litter and you wouldn't believe the kind of things they pick up. >> honest to god picked up a kitchen sink that fell off a truck. so we can no longer say we picked up everything but the kitchen sink. we have done that, too. >> reporter: it's almost a running joke. transportation officials have taken to using the furniture they find to build mock living rooms. every stick of furniture picked up by cleaning crews along bay area highways. >> it is a really expensive problem. >> reporter: the spokesman says there is nothing funny about the money taxpayers are spending to squash litter bugs. >> and these types of budgetary -- and these times of budgetary constraints, we are looking for things that we would rather not spend money on and this is it. >> reporter: last year $50 million that could have filled potholes and paved roads went toward trash pickup. crews filled nearly 9,000 bags of trash, enough to build a mountain of filth a mile high. >> that's just bags of litter.

that's not even talking about mattresses, furniture, appliances. >> reporter: he says the big items often fall off unsecured trucks or are dumped to avoid landfill fees. today, caltrans is leaving their loot on roadsides, a remind their sooner or later, the money to pick it up will come out of your pocket. and one way that caltrans is cutting down on some of those costs, using probationers, the guys out picking up trash this evening. it's been increasingly tough to attract them because of safety concerns that they have. live in berkeley, christin ayers, cbs 5. >> it's a hard job. thank you. all lanes are now open on the san mateo/hayward bridge after a fiery crash this morning. a truck carrying oxygen tanks and plastic hit a wall and burst into flames. unknown the cause of the crash. look what happened with

traffic, though. luckily nobody was hurt. the can was this big. and now the can is this big. >> another looming deadline for california but this time, a deal. sort of. why the agreement isn't really an agreement, and what it means for california taxpayers. you can barely get across the bridge the way it is now. 8,000 people in the middle of it all? crazy. >> that's just one of the concerns, why not everyone is thrilled about the ambitious plan to remake the centerpiece of san francisco bay. and for those of you in the concord area, a clean-up project a long time coming. and there is even more good news. the jobs will turn a profit. ,,

signed into law. >> when i started in january i wanted to fulfill old promises rather than make new ones. this is one of those old projects. >> reporter: there will be parks, school, shops, entire neighborhoods smack-dab in the middle of the bay. one way in, one way out. >> i think it's insane. >> reporter: ed hawkins pulled off on the island to check the view and make some phone calls. notes alone in his assessment. >> you can barely get across the bridge the way it is now. and 8,000 people pouring in and off right in the middle of it all? it's crazy! >> we'll figure out how to get there. but we must take a look at alternative ways of transportation. can't have everybody in their cars. we have to have a real ferry service. >> reporter: that are plans forker in ferries and many housing units will be affordable. >> it's unprecedented in the sense of set-asides for homeless folks and people. >> reporter: 2,000 people live on there including a 40-foot

dancing woman who moved here last year from the burning man and an artist colony. the grand administration building which was meant to be the main terminal for a planned san francisco international airport remains a great spot with its gracious walkways and flowing murals. other forgotten areas won't be forgotten anymore with this $1.5 billion project and the thousands of jobs it will bring. >> i think it's the most exciting thing we can be doing. this is the resurgence of cities like san francisco. >> reporter: this is on the extreme east end of the city. on the extreme west end park merced another $1.5 billion transformation in the next couple of decades. if you are just getting out of school, thinking about a job, if you are looking for work, construction might be the key in the city of san francisco. >> there you go. >> reporter: for the next 20 years. >> it's the new plastics. right? >> reporter: well, i'll tell ya. you go to school for four years, study psychology, you

might just want to think about construction. that's what's going to be happening here. >> i have one of those in school. right now studying psychology. thanks, mike sugerman on treasure island. well, the process of turning over a former concord military base to the community is finally moving forward. john ramos shows us this critical stage of the project incorporates these three r's, reuse, recycle and railcars. >> reporter: sometimes the wheels of progress turn slowly. but today at the old concord naval weapons station, something was actually happening. in one of the largest single recycling operations in navy history, over 340 railcars are going to be removed from the installation. back in 2005, the navy decided to close the munitions storage facility and return the land to the city of concord. it's been a slow arduous process. but the city's mayor says the removal of the railcars is a welcome sight. >> we have been at this now for

five, six years. and obviously, nothing seems to be happening at least from, you know, the public looking at the property or knowing anything is going on here so this is one of those steps. now feet to see that the cars that have been stored out here in poor condition will be able to be recycled and moved off the base. >> reporter: a private company will truck the cars to a recycling facility where they will be dismantled and the 10,000 tons of steel will be sold for scrap. the value will pay for the entire operation. >> it will generate about $800,000 in revenues. >> reporter: the navy will make a profit? >> yes. we are going to reinvest it back into sustainable programs. >> reporter: the company handling the job says they have recycled railcars before. but this will be a unique challenge. >> this is a large project. you know, all the different aspects of it, it makes it a little more complex than a normal situation. >> reporter: is it complex to work with the military?
